Welcome!

Welcome to the Learning and Teaching Team blog! We’re based in the Institute for Academic Development at the University of Edinburgh. Our team offers help and support to staff and students on all aspects of teaching, learning and assessment in higher education.

We’re keen to use this blog to communicate with a wide network of people interested in issues around learning and teaching. We hope it will be a creative and inspiring way to think about interesting topics. We’re keen to share something of the work we’ve been doing, and we’ll be blogging about the great diversity of things we do. You’ll see blogs about our involvement in research projects, reports from conferences, thoughts on what we’re reading and reflections on what kinds of practices we’re using in our teaching. We hope there will be something for everyone who’s interested in learning and teaching.

We’ll also carry guest blogs. Do get in touch if you would like to contribute. You can contact us at iad.teach@ed.ac.uk
